Every child deserves a safe, stable home to grow, heal, thrive, and belong.

the need is real.

5000+ children in Virginia are in foster care, and there aren't enough foster families to take them in.

Every year, hundreds of these children wait to be adopted, and many never are. For those who age out of care:

 1 in 4 become justice-involved, 1 in 4 do not graduate high school or pass the GED, 1 in 2 experience homelessness, and 1 in 2 develop substance dependency. 

Roughly 50% of families who foster quit within a year because they don't get the support they need.

60% of social workers leave the foster care system within the 18 months due to burnout.

This crisis is solvable

everyone can do something!
